Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series is expected in early 2027. The biggest changes: a brand-new S27 Pro tier, the Ultra possibly dropping the S Pen, and a chip showdown between Exynos 2700 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. Here’s what the leaks point to so far.
Huawei unveiled the Mate 90 series on October 1 — five models, launched and on sale the same day. The Kirin 9050 Pro tops 1GHz on the GPU for the first time, there’s an attachable 1-inch 10x optical-zoom camera, and the Pro Max packs a 6800mAh battery.
Galaxy Z Fold8, iPhone 18 Pro and Duo, Mate XT 2, and Xiaomi 18 Fold are all here — latest prices and specs for all five, side by side.
Four flagship chips on the same stage: Apple’s 2nm A20 Pro, Qualcomm’s 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Huawei’s Kirin, and Xiaomi’s in-house XRing. Using process node, official benchmark figures, power efficiency, and day-to-day experience, here’s where the differences actually lie.
Apple’s first physical variable aperture, a 2nm chip, and up to 45 hours of battery life. Here’s a spec-based breakdown of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max to help you decide whether to upgrade.
The 2026 flagship battle: A20 Pro (2nm) vs. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, variable aperture vs. 200MP, and a charging showdown. Where they actually differ.
Apple’s A20 Pro meets Google’s Tensor G6. Google has never disclosed the process node or absolute benchmarks, but its own numbers show the direction: Apple is the all-rounder, Google the AI specialist.
Apple’s A20 Pro meets Huawei’s Kirin 9030 Pro: variable aperture against a second-gen Red Maple camera, 100W charging against Apple’s, and a 5,750mAh battery. No official absolute benchmarks exist.
Apple meets Xiaomi’s Leica-tuned cameras: A20 Pro on 2nm vs. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a variable aperture vs. a 1-inch sensor with 200MP mechanical zoom, and 6000mAh with 90W charging.
Apple’s first foldable: a 7.6-inch inner screen, 5.2mm when unfolded, and 254 g in your hand. We round up the early hands-on impressions — the crease, the trade-offs, and whether it’s worth buying the first generation.
